Los pesticidas orgánicos son pesticidas hechos de sustancias naturales o mezclas caseras hechas de jabones orgánicos y/o etanol.
Los pesticidas orgánicos pueden permitir a los agricultores controlar plagas y enfermedades en las plantas sin recurrir a pesticidas convencionales. Esto no significa necesariamente que sean más seguros de usar. Los presticidas orgánicos pueden ser tan dañinos para la fauna/flora del medio ambiente como los pesticidas químicos. [1] Sin embargo, en comparación con los pesticidas químicos, el medio ambiente puede descomponerlos mucho más fácilmente.
Esta página enumera los pesticidas orgánicos que puede fabricar localmente y analiza contra qué plagas/enfermedades son efectivos. Las recetas en sí se pueden encontrar en recetas de pesticidas orgánicos .
Sumario
Use pest-specific pesticides
La clave para usar pesticidas apropiadamente es usar pesticidas que son (tanto como sea posible) es saber exactamente cuál es el problema o plaga/enfermedad que está causando problemas. Algunos problemas pueden no ser plagas/enfermedades, sino deficiencias de nutrientes . Si se trata de una plaga/enfermedad, trate de identificarla antes de usar pesticidas.
Aquí hay algunos recursos que pueden ayudarlo a identificar el problema:
- Manual de enfermedades de las plantas de Texas : este excelente recurso tiene una lista de cultivos comunes en Texas y plagas y enfermedades comúnmente asociadas. Fotos incluidas
- Una guía de enemigos naturales en América del Norte : lista de depredadores con imágenes. ¡Guía útil, pero es posible que se requiera algo de latín!
- Identificación de plagas domésticas y estructurales: siga la clave para identificar plagas comunes.
List of organic pesticides
Nota: Cuando una planta se nombra como plaguicida potencial, esta planta de la que se deriva la sustancia a menudo se puede intercalar para tener el mismo efecto plaguicida.

Human/animal urine | Aphids, caterpillars | Has dual use as it acts both a fertiliser and a pesticide |
Jojoba oil | ? | ? |
Kaolin Clay | Protects mainly against insects, but also some diseases. May also reduce damage from birds since there are less insects to attract them. | Non toxic to humans, and not known to hamper activities of beneficial insects such as honey bees. |

Rock meal | bacteria, fungi, some insects | Seaweed calcium, basalt and lava meal increase the acidity which protects crops from bacteria/fungi. The fine rock meal has a dehydrating effect and damages the wax layer of many insects. By dusting or spraying, the plants are covered with a thin layer of dust. Treatment is done in the evening and it should not rain for 12 hours (maximally done for up to 2 times per month). Dosage= 250g/are. |
